Puerto Rican Leader Pedro Albizu Campos

This video looks at Pedro Albizu Campos' time at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, and how his experiences here influenced his future activism for Puerto Rico. I have a couple of corrections to make from the time I made this video:

#1- In 1897 Spain gave Puerto Rico "la carta autonomica" which is not exactly the same thing as full independence. It gave Puerto Rico the right to self government. This was short lived because of the US invading Puerto Rico during the Spanish American War. Spain had to give up Puerto Rico to the US at the end of the war as part of the Treaty of Paris.

#2 Pedro was not the first Latin American graduate of Harvard, he was the first Puerto Rican graduate of Harvard's Law School.

#3 According to Rosa Meneses Albizu Campos, Pedro Albizu Campos was born June 29, 1893. The confusion about his birthdate comes from his mother Juliana had a child named Pedro Sept 12, 1891 who she registered in Ponce that died, and after that she did not register when Pedro Albizu Campos was born.

No disrespect is intended with Spanish and Taino words mispronounced in the video.
